# Verizon Cloud vs Cloud Storage

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Verizon Cloud at none against Cloud Storage's 15. Verizon Cloud also leads on ratings volume (143K vs 1.7K). Cloud Storage's advantage is chart position (#195 vs unranked) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Storage sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Verizon Cloud asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Verizon Cloud against 4.5 for Cloud Storage. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Verizon Cloud has 143K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 69% of Verizon Cloud's written reviews are positive against 75% of Cloud Storage's.

Verizon Cloud ships an update monthly, Cloud Storage every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
